This week is "Green Week" on MSNBC, starting with "Paperless Monday." We viewers have been treated with attractive women telling us how we, as citizens and consumers can go "paperless" (the amount of unsolicited junk mail I receive in my mailbox infuriates me), and how we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels (oil is only growing more precious and gas more expensive) and recycle, etc.

From 1994-1997, I drew daily cartoons for Laugh Lines, the L.A. Times' humor page. I also wrote topical jokes every day. Since the WGA is now on strike, there will be no new shows from the likes of Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O' Brien, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert. Since they've cornered the late-night market, I've decided to stake out a different time of day to call my own.

“Giuliani is George Bush on steroids.” Thompson is George Bush on valium. Huckabee is George Bush on a diet. Duncan Hunter is George Bush run further amok. John McCain is George Bush older but no wiser. Ron Paul is George Bush in disguise. Alan Keyes is George Bush hanging on. And Mitt Romney is George Bush at the beauty shop! The Repuglican Party has nothing but George Bush to offer to the American people!

The Pentagon has been stonewalling on my requests for answers to key questions. For two weeks, a public affairs office has been declining to respond to my question about whether the six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles flown by a B-52 from Minot AFB to Barksdale AFB were programmed for specific targets, and, if so, what those targets were or even whether the team that investigated the incident checked to see if they were targeted.

Subject: McCain sells out on torture

I can't understand John McCain's support of Bush's nominee Michael Mukasey for Attorney General. When Mukasey was asked about a torture technique called waterboarding he evaded the question acting like he didn't know what waterboarding was. McCain on the other hand clearly knows what waterboarding is and says that it clearly is torture. Bush has made it clear that he's not going to send a nominee that believes that waterboarding is torture calling that a "litmus test." John McCain sold out on torture. It looks to me like Hillary is more serious about blocking torture than McCain is.
